The misguided do-gooders (or the leftist tyrannists) were at it today holding a gun buy-back event at a church in Dallas. Thats right, I said a gun buy-back in Dallas. As in Dallas, Texas. As in, hey libtards, is ya ignorant? This is Texas!

Across the street from said gun buy-back, a counter buy back was going on. The church was paying $50 per gun turned in. $200 if it was an assault rifle. Yeah, as if! The guns were then going to be destroyed. AWD was there for about an hour and a half and didnt see anyone actually enter the church with guns to turn in. But I did see several people who were going to the gun buy back cross the street and auction their unwanted guns off for a lot more than they would have gotten from the liberals at the church.

There was a Russian-made SKS, a Remington 1100 12 gauge, a Colt revolver from the 1900′s and many more that found new loving homes today. And the previous owners walked away with a whole lot more than $50. Ahhhh, capitalism and free markets win over socialism and tyranny again. Also noted, every single person that had guns to sell were elderly white people. Hardly the type that are committing crimes on the street! Just some people looking for money for guns they no longer use.

What was interesting was the gaggle of left-wing media types. AWD listened as an independent filmaker (i.e. libtard with a camera) as he asked the usual stupid questions to a guy who had a AR for sale. Why do you need a gun like that? Is it fully automatic? How many bullets can the clip hold? How do we make our streets safe? AWD jumped in and said we make our streets safer by putting more guns in the hands of law-abiding people. Every study shows, even the ones from anti-gun groups, that more guns in the hands of honest people results in fewer crime. The libtard with a camera wouldnt even look at me when I answered and acted like he wasnt listening. I told him I would appreciate the common courtesy of listening to the answer of a question he asked. It was obvious what he was up to. He wanted to find the most ill-spoken type he could and have them say something stupid he could exploit. He was nothing more than a ten-cent Piers Morgan, who is nothing more than a ten-cent douche bag.

What was really great about this event is it was organized quickly and cheaply and word spread by word of mouth over Twitter, Facebook, email and other social media. The only people AWD saw at the church were a few Dallas Police officers probably wishing they were on the other side of the street. Lots of young people attended, including fillies. One frustration AWD always has had with the Tea Party movement is nearly everyone involved has gray hair. Its good and refreshing to see young, patriotic Texans who are not about to give up their Second Amendment rights.

Heres a group in Austin doing the same type of gun buy back counter rally. If you want to hear the lunacy of left-wing thought, skip to 4:20 and listen to Austin Police. Yes, Austin is the only leftist city in Texas.

Just remember when Barry’s gestapo shows up at your door to confiscate your guns, just tell them that you turned them in at a “buyback” event because you wanted to get rid of them where there would be “no questions asked”. You used the gift cards to buy some bread and milk.

But just like buying a used car, where I know enough to take it to my regular mechanic for an evaluation before I do so, I would like an expert to take a look at it first.

That said, what would be the problem with experienced gun experts setting up near buy-back locations, offering to evaluate and grade guns people want to get rid of?

Little old lady who doesn't know the scary looking gun she is afraid of keeping, is worth thousands of dollars ... Somebody who needs to get the guns out of their house gets $75 instead of $50, if they sell it to me, after I am assured it doesn't have a bent barrel, and they are assured it is legal to sell it to an individual

That is an excellent idea!

Two or three individuals with the necessary, backed up by an FFL with a Class III trading facility, would be able to handle any gun your "little old lady" might care to sell, even the scary one that her uncle had from years before, that turns out to be a very nice M-14 in excellent condition that would otherwise fall to the Feds for nothing.

Especially with the current political atmosphere. I was at my local gun store yesterday and saw a guy pay $750 for a Chinese SKS. I almost wanted to cry, as I used to sell them back in the mid 1990’s for $75 and I only bought one for myself.

The purchase by gift card proves the receiver of the gift card was not in profit-making mode (hence no fed or state income taxation); and the giver of the gift card (and new possesser of the gun) is not subject to sales tax. IIRC

Remember, we're now talking of maybe a few hundred dollars of value -- and if no exchange, the gift cards can still be used to buy something else.

De-commercializing the exchange. Hence no state tax number, no FFL required. Just slicker than frog's hair!

It's going to be very important to defeat the call for universal NIC checks -- because what they really want to do is run a sub-rosa, lefthanded-bastard national registry, as a tool for confiscation (presumably by weapons classes parted out and prioritized by "scariness").

Craigs list maybe? Just a simple ad saying “will pay cash for used guns.” But ya gotta be careful that you don’t pick one up that may have been used in criminal activity. When the city, county offer these so called “buy backs”(?) they offer amnesty which might be pretty enticing for some young “enterprising” opportunist to dump these weapons.
